Integral Yoga founder, Sri Swami Satchidananda, teaches the word-by-word pronunciation of the Integral Yoga evening meditation slokas. Booklet that has the text and translation of these slokas coming soon to issuu.com.

In this talk from the archives, Swami Satchidananda explains how by constantly running after wants and desires, we sacrifice our inner peace and joy. By continually chasing after wants, we will never find happiness. This is the deep teaching of the path of Karma Yoga, in which one lives a life of giving not running after things. He also clarifies how by giving, we don’t “gain” happiness because happiness is our true nature. The way to not lose our happiness is by not running after non-existent happiness.

Sri Swami Satchidananda, Integral Yoga founder, teaches the pronunciation of the Sanskrit slokas used in daily pūjā, a service of devotion at Chidambaram (the Mahasamadhi Shrine of Sri Swamiji). The pūjā is offered to the Sivalingam (according to Tamil Saiva tradition, Sri Swamiji's root tradition). In Sanskrit, Siva means “auspiciousness,” and lingam means “sign” or “symbol.” The Sivalingam symbolizes the Absolute God, the nameless and formless One.

The slokas are broken into syllables to help one learn to pronounce each portion and then Sri Swamiji chants the entire line. Find the text here:
